About LaShonya
Dr. LaShonya Williams is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) who helps people facing family stress and parenting challenges. She has a direct, calm style and focuses on practical steps caregivers can use right away.
Her approach centers on the client's strengths and lived experience. With 22 years of professional experience, she has supported people dealing with trauma, abuse, and intimacy-related concerns. She also works with anger, anxiety, depression, and addiction-related struggles.
Background and approach
Her practice pays attention to communication problems, control issues, and difficulties that follow divorce or separation. Dr. Williams uses tools from Client-Centered Therapy to build a respectful, nonjudgmental space.
She pairs that with Cognitive Behavioral Therapy techniques to identify unhelpful thinking and test new behaviors. Sessions typically involve clear, manageable steps clients can try between meetings. She has a particular interest in problems that arise from family of origin issues and family conflict, and she helps people process domestic violence and first responder-related stress when it appears in a person's story.
She also supports those coping with isolation, questions about life purpose, and money-related stress. People who reach out can expect straightforward conversation and focus on real-life problems. Dr.
Williams encourages parents to use their existing strengths while learning new ways to handle conflict and set boundaries. She welcomes questions about how therapy might fit into a busy life.

Using Client-Centered and CBT Online
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening, empathy, and meeting people where they are. The therapist follows the client's lead and helps them name strengths and priorities. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at how thoughts, feelings, and actions connect and teaches small experiments and new skills to shift unhelpful patterns. CBT can be useful for anxiety, depression, anger, and stress related to family life.Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to decide which methods feel most helpful. Together they set goals, try techniques, and adjust the plan based on what works and what doesn't.
Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to make care easier to fit into daily life. Video sessions allow face-to-face conversation, phone sessions can be easier when lower bandwidth is needed, live chat is useful for quick check-ins, and messaging supports ongoing reflection between meetings. These options help people keep therapy consistent around work, school, and parenting responsibilities.
